i was just wondering if this was a good deal for a stunt bike. thanks

"2000 sv650
laid down, engine and frame good. 2bro's pipe, good bike to fix up for for parts. 1350 obo."


im going to call him later and see exactly what is wrong with it. ill post back and tell you.

-MXD-

sounds ok. plus if you dont like the look you can throw some gsxr fairings on it. you should offer him 800 then you will get it for around 950 if you can talk

gix fairings fit?

SAMBO

Sounds good but do you want a V-twin?

Mogwai

Yeah, sounds good if you don't mind buying a new motor every 3 months. Sv 650's oil pick up is in the front of the engine, during long wheelies the engine will be starved for oil and will blow. There is no way to customize the oil pickup due to the fact that the engine has no oil pan, you would have to split the case and find a way to get oil to the engine in any position. Good luck and if you figure out how, if you don't mind, share the info. If you want a v twin for the torque go for the TL1000

i dont really want a vtwin. im an inline kinda guy, but this sounds like a steal.

hopefully by the time the engine blows, ill have money for another bike.

anyone with a sv650 have any tips for the oil pickup problem?

RedlineJimmy

That's a great price, but the above post is right on the money. This is how Gina blew her engine and has been out ever since.

Not to mention that the forks are weak, if you got the SV you might want to concider finding some inverted forks that will hook up

iwannagixxer

forks are weak? like bendable? or weak suspension wise?

Mogwai

Weak bendable, I can't put the difference between reg forks and inverted forks into words and I can't find any good pictures to show the difference but basically inverted forks are stronger.

iwannagixxer

think gixxer forks would fit?

Mogwai

Yes, but why buy a bike that you have to put so much money into that will just end up blowing up on you?

vervius

if you don't take it let me know, i'm looking for a track bike and the sv's are pretty good for that atleast.

thanks!

Mogwai

Oh yeah, and the bearings up by the triple are different in SV's and Gixxers so the steering will be kinda weird.

iwannagixxer

oh well, ill be getting it for hopefully under 1k.

stunt it til it blows, then get a better bike.

it'll be good to learn on if nothing.

SAMBO

That would be wasted money. You could use that money towards a down payment on a loan at a bank. You need to go pick up a cycle trader. That is were i bought my 929.

KingWheelie

Hey. Nothing wrong with the SV's. Just becuase you can't do long distance wheelies on them doesn't mean ****. I love my SV. It'll hold it's own. Great all around bike AS LONG as you stay away from long distance wheelies. Love the torque. By the way, you can fit GSXR fairing's on them?

iwannagixxer

uh, this ad is in a cycle trader...

Mogwai

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put down SV's all together, I have an SV and i love it but I don't stunt it. Just sharing what I know.

Mikie

SV's are the pimp **** man!! I have two buddies with them, an 02 and 03, the 03 has a newer frame (stiffer) and FI. Anyways, its a blast to ride, I wouldnt stunt it out hardcore but just wheelies and endo, corners.. you know just having fun on it.. I'd buy it for in a heartbeat @ that price!
